Quotes 

• William O'Daniel, maintopman : [After Jenkons' burial at sea]  Well, that's the end of Enoch Jenkins. Over the side he goes and his mates soon forget him.

  Alan Payne, maintopman : They'll not forget him so soon, I'm thinking.

  The Dansker, sailmaker : Ah, whatever happened to Jenkins, he ain't worried now. He got a hundred fathoms between him and the troubles of his life.

  Billy Budd : I'd rather be buried at sea than on the shore when I come to die. Will you stand by the plank, mates, so I can shake a friendly hand before I sink?

  [After a pause, they all laugh] 

  Billy Budd : .
